IM PROVEMENT IN HEATING-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent NO. 42,645, dated May 10, 1864 antedated May 2, 1864. -V

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, H. G. DAYTON, of Maysville, in the county of Mason and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Iniprovement in Stoves and Furnaces; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this specification, said drawing being a central section of my invention.

This inVent-ion consists in the employment or use of a water-vessel placed within the chamber in a stove or heater, and arranged in such a manner, and connected to an outer water-vessel, that the Warm air may be charged with a requisite amount of moisture, and the moistened heated air also conveyed to other apartments than the one in which the stove or furnace is placed.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my inven tion, I will proceed to describe it.

A represents a stove or furnace; B, the firechamber; O, the ash-pit, and D the chamber above the fire-chamber. E is the stovepipe, communicating with the upper part of D.

Within the Chamber D there is placed a chamber, F, which is sufficiently smaller in diameter than D to admit of a flue, G, all around between F and D, vas clearly shown in the drawing. The lower part of this inner chamber, F, communicates with the external air by means of tubes a, any proper number being used, which pass through the side of chamber D, and a hot-air pipe, H, passes from the upper part of F, through the side of D, for the purpose of conveying heated air to other apartments than the one in which the stove is placed.

Within the chamber F there is placed a watervessel, I. This vessel may be constructed with double wallsand filled in between with plaster-of-paris b or other suitable non-conducting material. J represents another watervessel, which is at the outer side of the stove, and communicates with the vessel I by means of a tube, K, as shown clearlyin the drawin g.

From the above description it will be seen that when a fire is built in the stove the products of combustion will pass up through the fine G and into the stove-pipe E, as indicated by the black arrows, and a current of air Will pass through the tube or tubes a into the internal chamber, F, and up through said chamber into pipe H, by which it is conveyed into the apartment desired to be heated. (See red arrows.) The air in passing up through F becomes heated, and absorbs vapor from the vessel 1, the heated air absorbing a proper quantity. The water in the vessel J will also be heated as it communicates with I, by means of the tube K, and the vapor from said vessel J mingles with the heated air of the room in lwhich the stove is placed, said room being heated, of course, by a direct radiation of heat from the stove.

Thus by this simple arrangement the air of an apartment heated by a stove may be charged with a requisite degree of moisture,

and moistened heated air also conveyed tov other apartments than that in which the stove is placed. The outer water-vessel, J, also affords a convenient means for supplying the inner water-vessel, I, with water.

Haviug thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The employment or use, in a stove or furnace, of an internal air-heating chamber, F, provided with a water-vessel, I, and provided with one or more hot-air conducting-pipes, H, and cold-air ducts a, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose ,herein set forth.

2. The outer water-vessel, J, in combination with the inner water-vessel, I, when connected together or made to communicate with each other, as shown, and both arranged in relation with or applied to the stove, as and for the purpose specified.

H. G. DAYTON.
